had the unspeakable joy to pray with

meat and drink to preach Christ, and
Gori rewarded thee in giving tne?
many souls for thy hire. Thou hast
led many to the Cross that rejoice
today in a free and full salvation:
while many have preceded thee and
are awaiting thy coming. Thy zeal
for His cause consumed thee, because
the love of God constrained thee, that
thou didst continue until that tired
and weary body could no longer re

for quick and easy passing over the

was spent in conversation and de-
ncMful games. At the proper time.
the Ladies Aid society, with the,

which was greatly appreciated.
After the lunch was disposed of.
L. Neitzel was prevailed upon to make
some remarks befitting the occasion,
and during the course of which he
presented Mr. and Mrs. Hendrix with
a beautiful framed picture as a token
of the esteem, friendship and remem-
berance in which they are held, and
to which both responded in a happy
manner.
The. picture represented a
storm-
tossed sea. where the breakers beat
upon a rocky shore, while in the dis
tance sails a boat with its occupants,
straight for the breakers, unconscious
of the peril ahead. But they are hav
ing the pilot aboard, who in due time
ari3es and with a wave of his hand
and that sweet, calm voice speaks,
"Peace be still." and the boat glides
safely into the haven. A very sug

It was a late hour when the last
fond farewell was said and the guests

viewed the apathy toward govern-

local units of government home
rule, is essential to the political fab-

"Much of the political apathy that
is now so disturbing to observers of
American conditions and tendencies
is due to the failure of the small
political units to cling to their

lost one game and Washington and

ered an elimination.
Teams in Scrimmages.

prints to bring victory, a few new
offensive plays are being taught.
Drake on the other hr.nd is pointing

players.

The twenty-eight dozen additional
Acme folding chairs for use in the
new Legion community building,
were brorght down yesterday f n m
Orchard-Wilheim's warehouse by Ilea
Mc-Maken, who volunteered his f-er-vi'es
in bringing down the entire
3 8 dozen that have been purchased
by the contributing public at $1 per
chair in an ingenious "Buy-a-Chair"
campaign suggested by Mrs. William
Baird.
The assistance of Mr. McMaken
in bringing down the chairs, has
saved the Legion a nice sum of mon
ey, as their gross weight exceeds two
tons and would have cost a good deal
at regular transfer or freight rates.
F.ea has proven himself a real boost
er for the building and is cntit'ed to
the greatest of credit for this fine
service he has rendered.
Last night the chairs that have
been in use in the hall for the past
month, and on which were painted
the names of early donators in the
drive, were folded up and stored, and
the new chairs unpacked and put In
place around the hall. Sign Painter
Holly completed the lettering of more
than a hundred and within the next
few days will have the entire Fhip
ment lettered, winding up the very
successful chair drive.
With the chairs brought down yes
terday came five dozen additional
that the Presbyterian church will
use in its newly finished assembly
room.
REOPEN SHOOTING PROBE
Tulsa. Okl.. Nov. 4. Acting on
newly obtained information. County
Attorney Eyron Kirkpatrick today
announced that the investigation In
to the fatal shooting of Mrs. Mary
Ellen Bodine during a party in her
apartment here Tuesday afternoon
had been reopened. The girl's hus
band is said to be an air mail pilot
in Wisconsin. Her death had been
accepted by county autho: .'tieh an
accidental or suicide.
While Kirkpatrick declined to re
veal the source of his information or
to give it in detail. It waa said that
the absence of powder burns on Mrs.
Bodine'; body, indicating that the fa
tal shot was fired from a distance,
played an important part. It al
was said that finger prinU were
found on the window sill outside,
leading officials to believe that th
party was bf ir.g spied upon.
The disappearance of two witness
es to the shooting and a possible mo
tive of jealousy, with an alleged in
tent to kill one of the guests, were
given as other causes for renewing
the investigation.
